The Child of Grimm

Chapter 4: A Father Like No Other

(Opening Theme: When It Falls Ft Casey Lee Williams)

-Three Weeks Earlier-

    Three days came and went since Team RWBY found and took in Destiny too Beacon Academy; even though it's only been for a short time, it feels like that she has been there forever.  True they knew so little about her, but it feels like that they've known her for their whole lives; even Team JNPR had felt the same way.  Destiny seemed to have adjusted to her surrounding despite being around Beacon and both of the teams for three short days.  During those three days she either spent her time with team RWBY and during the times with them they would play games.

    Today however wasn't one of those days just to have fun and such. At first things had started out fine; Destiny had eaten breakfast with them and they chatted with one another; usually they would tell her about their friends. Afterwards they had started to play a game of hide-and-seek, and it was actually pretty fun, that is until around the 5th time that they played. Team RWBY was looking for Destiny and had started to get worried when they couldn't hear her calling out. Blake had finally found her but when she did, she was on the floor, clutching her chest, and practically gasping for air, despite the fact that medicine was still pumping to her heart.

    Their first instinct of course was to call for help, but Destiny had told them not too, still afraid that the White Fang might be looking for her.  Of course, they didn't think it was a good idea, but ultimately Destiny had begged them not to, and that made them take her straight back to the dorms, where she had ultimately passed out from the pain. About an hour had already and she didn't really show signs of waking up which scared her.

    Blake sat beside where she slept, and Ruby was pacing around the room with a worried look on her face. Yang was drumming her fingers on the table she sat beside and Weiss was tapping her foot. Honestly, all of them were worried, and why wouldn't they be? A child's life could be at stake and they couldn't even take her a hospital since the White Fang could still be out there searching.

    All of them were worried sick.

    Finally after an hour they finally heard Destiny let out a groan; her eye had started to open. "DESTINY!" They cried out; all of them group hugged her, catching her by surprise. They broke out of the hug when they heard Destiny let out a pained groan.

    "How are you feeling?" Weiss asked her.

    "Are you okay?" Ruby asked immediately after her.

    Blake had asked, "Are you feeling ill?"

    "Does your chest still hurt?" Yang asked her.

    Destiny had said calmly, "Guys, I'm okay, really."

    "You scared us half to death though." Ruby said, "After we saw the way you were and you said not to take you to the hospital--"

    "I'm fine." Destiny said patting Ruby on the shoulder, "It's just... A sort of thing that happens."

    "You mean this happens a lot?" Blake asked her.

    Destiny shook her head, "It just happens at random. Even my dad doesn't know it's pattern.  Sometimes it comes back for a long time and sometimes it'll come the week after. Like I said, it's just random."

    "And your sure that there's no way of knowing when it's about to happen?" Yang asked just be sure.

    Destiny shook her head sadly; Team RWBY eyes softened, now they had to be really careful. "Anything else we need to know?" Weiss asked curiously.
